    15 March turn down I earned just over £19. Pleased with that as all I did was plug the car in during the turn up, I wasn't able to use the machines or cook. Yet this one yielded more than the previous one where I plugged the car and did other stuff. I suspect we normally have more lights on at this time.

    (I didn't join on 14 March.)

    Running total now over £70.

    Good point Mstty - will have to wait to see what they put in the e-mail about Wednesday's event ...  Shame I didn't sign up to Loop earlier - as the dreaded Scottish Power aren't playing I didn't think there was an option for me to join in.
    We missed the first 5 events messing about with Eon next customer service/their forum and twitter responses (all a complete mess)

    I reckon we could have made £300 if we were with loop from the start but should get about £200.
    Net or gross? 

    I think there was a two hour session at the start before I understood the methodology that we missed out on that would otherwise have been the most lucrative of all, possibly well into 3 figures for that one session.

    Our day rate is painful so we probably only net about half the payment after paying for the extra in the adjustment session.
    Net, nothing we used wasn't going to be done that day or later that week so the weekly figures did not increase. No open oven door heating here.
    KK - we are shifting from cheap night rate to expensive day rate so there is a considerable cost
    I think....

    We only have the single rate so not a factor.

  • Scores are in - another £6+

    Totals £41.26. I know it's peanuts compared to some on here but it's better than a kick in the biscuits!

    £7.61 back at a cost of around £3 so not a bad return.  £17.26 in total as I was very late to the game.

    Over £20 saved here. No extra costs incurred over and above what I would have done anyway at different times. Mainly due to the oven being on and a car being charged.
